Russian Navalny Mourners Face Military Draft Summonses
Mourners in St. Petersburg paying respects to Alexei Navalny have reportedly been detained and handed military summonses, with at least six individuals receiving the papers after being released from police custody. The summonses require them to report to the enlistment office to verify their information and register for military service, with reports of coercion to sign them. This comes amid a wider crackdown on dissent following Navalny's death in a remote prison, sparking grief and anger among his supporters while President Putin has remained silent.
